"Mall Cop" Sequel on It's Way

Sony and Adam Sandler's Happy Madison Productions have teamed to make "Paul Blart: Mall Cop," which went on to be more successful than Sony could have ever imagined.

Executives at the studio concluded that "Mall Cop" would gross $20 million in its first four days, with a high end of perhaps $25 million in domestic theaters. The actual Martin Luther King Day weekend brought in $39.2 million. And the film went on to win first place in its second week as well, declining to an impressive $21.6 million take.

So what does this mean for the future of "Mall Cop"? "Happy Madison historically has been very reluctant to do sequels," Sony production executive Doug Belgrad told LA Times. "But we believe there is an opportunity to make another 'Paul Blart' movie."
